DIY: Shred and Destroy!

So I recently posted this on Instagram:

I somehow got this idea from seeing someone's tights ladder (that's soo annoying) and I thought, how cool would it look on a shirt? Making this is also very therapeutic and was fun to do whilst watching tv. 

Also how can I post something tagged #diy without putting up a tutorial?! 

Here we go.

You'll need a shirt with lightweight fabric and scissors.

 You'll need to un-hem the shirt or just cut the bottom off so that the raw edge is showing.

If you start pulling on the fabric where it frays then we can get started. What is basically being done here is unravelling the fabric.

Keep going until you get the desired effect. If you don't want to start from the bottom of the shirt, you could always just stab the shirt in random places and start unravelling from there. Always start from the bottom up and just keep pulling and unravelling. I must warn you that it will not be perfect and there will be holes but hey, that's the whole point. 

Have fun destroying!

DIY: The Princess Peach Project!

Hello wonderful people! We haven't done a D.I.Y post in yonks so I thought I'd go through with my current dressmaking projects. 

I have been recently challenged by my little sister to create a dress for her so that she can dress up as Princess Peach for her school's World Book Day...or something like that, I wasn't really listening.

So long story short, I made this little dress for my little sister.

It took around 6 hours, 2.5 metres of fabric, bits of lace, an aching back and a very impatient seven year old girl nagging at my ear.
 I kept it pretty basic now that I think about it, but the thing that annoyed me the most had to be the fabric that kept fraying so much.
